Radalt R-44

[arkostis]

I would like to install a radar altimeter on my R-44 (flying in Europe).Any proposals?

[vaibronco]

Why would you install a radalt on a robbie?

[Arm out the window]

Errr....why not?

[Chopper Doc]

You need to find a Part 21 company that will do the design work and fit it for you.

I want to install it for commercial flights over sea. I am looking for the stc ..etc...Any idea ?

[arkostis]

Any idea for a company ,that already have done the " job" in Europe ?

[CRAZYBROADSWORD]

Might have missed something but radalts are a fairly normal thing in R44's the digital one the name of which I can't remember till I get to work tomorrow is the most popular one . Just ask you're maintenance outfit to install one

[FSXPilot]

Sigh! If only it were that simple. To fit kit like that now requires you to be or to employ a Part 21 company that can do the design work unless there is an EASA approved STC already.

[edit]
It's a $19k factory option.

Isn't there a factory option available directly from Robinson ? I think I've seen that a while ago in the R44 price list. For a factory option, there shouldnt be any STC required by EASA.
